Elements like skylights could be placed directly into shells, and composite structures could be applied to them just like walls or slabs.

Elements could be tagged as "Existing," "To be Demolished," or "New".

This was the most significant geometric enhancement, allowing for the creation of wide-ranging freeform shapes.

Support for full editing and navigation within perspective views, rather than just axonometric ones. 4. IFC and Open BIM Enhancements

Pre-defined filters automatically changed the display (e.g., highlighting demolished walls in red) for documentation and coordination. 3. 3D Design Aids

A blue, auto-orienting grid that appeared in 3D views to provide a stable surface for element creation and modification.

Enhanced visual feedback with "X, Y, Z" markers and "depth dimming" that faded background elements to help users orient themselves in 3D space.

ArchiCAD 15 was followed by ArchiCAD 16 in 2012, which added the for further graphical editing. Today, the software has evolved significantly, with ArchiCAD 29 (2025/2026) featuring AI assistants and advanced cloud collaboration.
